KlevaMova customers travel on the Gautrain free this weekend
The Gautrain recently announced the special product, which caters to individuals living in households with a combined household annual income of R350,000 or less, students under the age of 25, scholars, pensioners, and recipients of the South African Social Security Agency’s (Sassa) disability grant.
Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport, Kedibone Diale-Tlabela, said the Gautrain was opening its doors this weekend, 24 and 25 May 2025, and allowing pre-registered customers free travel on the train.
The free weekend special will allow an eligible individual to bring along up to three guests for this exclusive offer.
Seats are limited, so individuals who wish to take up the free travel offer must register at klevamovaweekend.gautrainalerts.co.za by no later than 21 May 2025.
Upon arrival at a Gautrain station on 24 and 25 May, eligible passengers will be received by a promoter who will verify that they are registered for the free travel promotion and issue them and their guests with a wristband, which will allow them seamless free travel on the Gautrain for the day.
In addition, the promoters will assist customers who wish to register for the KlevaMova 50% off train fare discount.
“Eligible passengers do not only get to explore Gautrain for free on 24 and 25 May 2025, but also get an opportunity to sign up for a product that will reduce their day-to-day train travel costs to work, school, or other destinations in the province,” said Diale-Tlabela.
The Gautrain’s KlevaMova product offers eligible passengers a 50% discount on train fares only, available as weekly, monthly, and return trip products.
To qualify for the discount, interested individuals must apply by submitting relevant documentation and are subject to an approval and verification process.
“We are building a Gauteng that embraces all its communities, irrespective of their status in life. We want Gauteng to be connected and accessible, thereby allowing our residents access to opportunities they deserve while catalysing inclusive economic growth.
“I would like to encourage qualifying individuals to register for KlevaMova and experience an efficient, safe, and convenient public transport service,” said the MEC.
